Cassandra bootstap - unnecessary "compression_options"

[jongb]

The expression:
"and compression_options = {'sstable_compression' : 'org.apache.cassandra.io.compress.SnappyCompressor'};
" is unnecessary in the later versions of Cassandra.
Causes exceptions when loaded into Cassandra 1.2 thru cassandra-cli and other clients.

I didn't know it... I will check that out, but at the moment I would NOT recommend using Cassandra 1.2.0 : there has been a lot of changes in the 1.2 release, and I would recommend waiting until Cassandra 1.2.3 ou 1.2.4 before using this version in production.
Our production server is currently on 1.1, but for development I'm using 1.2.

I just tested with the cli and had no issue at all... Isn't the bug related to ticket #281 ?

In some way.
More a Cassandra version issue. (My bad!)
BTW a colleague said that compression_options is set this way by deafult in 1.2.
